Lets here fellow brothers of the brush.....
Where do you aim at....the head or the base of the neck?
and why

 

[springfreak]

About halfway between the two so that the pattern has a good chance of hitting the head and neck

 

[jec turkeydad]

Base of the neck,that is where our guns pattern. Most guys in excitement shoot high on the gobblers because of not getting there head down against the stock!

Same here

 

[SnoodStretcher]

I aim where the feathers start, that part of his head doesn't move as much.

Plus, I like to see the feathers fly!!

 

[Twowithone]

Right at the caruncles if I flinch I should still harvest.

 

[Borden811]

I have my gun set up to pattern 6 inches high. I aim for where the skin and feathers meat. Face gets smashed, and very few pellets in the breast. I don't like wasting any meat.

 

[groat]

Base of the neck

 

[spur]

Base of neck

 

[mfuff]

I aim between head and feathers about where the Waddles are.

 

[mightyjoeyoung]

Right underneath the chin where the waddles are. My guns are all sighted in to hit dead on poa if not just a tad high. Keeps the pattern out of the body if at all possible because well...I like to eat turkey, not just shoot em...

 

[gheadboy]

I go right for the neck where the feathers start. When I first started hunting, I always knew to shoot them in the head. Well it was probably the biggest turkey I have ever seen came running in one morning, and I shot over him all 3 shots. I aimed right for the top of the head.

 

[GobbleBuck]

Base of the nexk, just above the feather line!

 

[fishdoctor]

Base of the nexk, just above the feather line!

Yep

 

[great white hunter]

Base of the neck!

 

[F-Troop79]

yep...base of the neck

 

[Woods-N-Waters]

Depends on the distance but 99% of the time, where the feathers meet the neck.

 

[Rambo93]

If you aim where feathers meet the neck I see no reason you should be ruining meat, a few bb's never hurt anyone! That being said I also aim for where feathers and flesh meet.

 

[fall gobbler]

Eyeball!

 

[Born2Hunt]

I aim at the top of the head....or eyeball.... It only takes the bottom part of a dense pattern to take down a gobbler. Aiming low will put pellets in the breast of the gobbler.
